106 Visitors but Only One IP – How Does this Work?
Hi all
We have a case management system on our intranet that can be accessed from our website so that members of the public can download documents from it. Our report for the last month shows 106 visitors to that CMS but only one unique IP. The main OS's of the visitors are Android, iPhone, Mac, NT, and Windows 7, so it seems unlikely that all the visitors come from one organisation. Is it that, because people access the CMS from our website, the server our website is on is the IP address recorded, not the IP addresses of the actual visitors? (Sorry if this is a dumb question; this is not my area at all, as I'm sure you can tell.)
Many thanks, Dominic
